(LOL!), Larry D, gooood one! ld:
coolkayaker1, yeah, I thought a similar thing recently. I wondered how many of the three or four newbies a day we welcome stay around and really learn how to play the Uke. Some of them buy expensive Ukes too, and we never hear from them again. I wonder how many of those Kamakas and Martins are stuck in closets or hanging on walls. ld:
I can only speak for myself of course, but in general - unless I have a specific question, or something I believe is helpful to contribute to a discussion, the less I post, the more time it means I'm spending playing - either playing ukulele, or playing outdoors! My Kamakas are definitely not stuck in the closet or hanging on the wall. I check UU from time to time when I have downtime at work, but as I'm a computer serf for a living, I try my darndest to stay off the computer when I'm off the clock.
You might wanna check out the Leaderboard Ohnku Honu thread then.Well, I'm pretty much a loner, but I like to talk to people. I usta go to bars to socialize, but I don't do that any more. I really enjoyed our talks about books.
I find the stuff that other people do very interesting, and I enjoy learning. ld:
I'm sorry, sukie, but I don't know what you're talking about. ld:

It's a thread. Usually somewhere on the forums first page. It's chat....all chat...almost all the time. We are called pohos.. Short for post whores. We post a lot. (See my post count). We are just a bunch of UUers who talk about most anything. We love newcomers. Right now there is a lot of chat about beer (beer?). Topics can turn on a dime. But, if you just want someplace to gab, that is the place. Some of those people have become very good friends. We have visited each other and, of course, meet together at UWC. Everyone is welcome.
I'm sorry, sukie, but I don't know what you're talking about.
You mean I missed all that?
Well, here I am again, a glass of brandy, a nice quiet house, and no one to talk to. Again I ask, doesn't anyone stay up late any more?
I'm gettin' where I hate to go to bed any more; all that tossing and turning--I'm hot, I'm cold, the house is making noises, it's too quiet . . . 50 years ago, I'd be out partying.
So, anybody up? Anybody wanna talk? Gotta gripe? Can't sleep? Too hot--or cold? I'm here . . . ld:
Your 11:30PM is my 2:30AM, and my all-nighter days are long since past. It's now 8:30AM for me and 5:30AM for you - are you sleeping?
Got a question, though. How do you like the "reentrant C" on the Gold Tone tenor banjolele? I have both my B-Us straight CGDA, but have tenor and concert ukes with the "reentrant C." Have been thinking about converting the SideKick B-U to GDAE for the heck of it.
